Malaria elimination practices in China from the perspective of health system and social development.
Article in Infectious diseases of poverty, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundChina, once a malaria-endemic country, has developed a comprehensive set of extensive strategies and accumulated practical experience over 70 years of malaria elimination efforts. On June 30, 2021, China was officially certified by the World Health Organization as malaria-free. Substantial research has already summarized China's malaria control experience from a technical standpoint. This study aims to examine China's malaria elimination practices from a new perspective of the health system and social development.
methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with key informants, including national malaria program managers, renowned scholars, and technical personnels from China, international organizations, and high-burden countries in Africa. Interviews were conducted from July 2023 to July 2025, and data were analyzed using the thematic framework method.
resultsA total of 42 participants responded to the interview, and 7 key components from social development was proposed. The thematic analysis identified key factors influencing the achievement of malaria elimination in China. Specifically, 57.14% of experts mentioned agricultural crop types, 66.67% highlighted health education, 64.29% noted the working environment, 52.38% referred to employment opportunities, 59.52% addressed water and sanitation, 71.43% emphasized the living environment, and all experts underscored the critical role of the health system.
conclusionsSocial development is closely intertwined with malaria elimination, as advancements in healthcare, infrastructure, and community engagement are essential for ensuring the long-term success of malaria control efforts. Future studies could further explore the impact of specific factors on malaria elimination, thereby contributing valuable insights to global malaria elimination efforts.
